Aave Founder: Aave Adjusts Low-Adoption Assets and Network Deployment to Focus on High-Value Markets and Securities Financing

TechFlow reports that on July 30, Aave founder Stani stated that the recent gradual contraction of low-adoption assets and networks on Aave should not be interpreted as a stance on any L1 or L2. This move is primarily aimed at reducing Aave's risk exposure at the operational, technical, and economic levels, thereby concentrating resources on more impactful key directions, including expanding existing high-value markets and developing securities financing business.

He also emphasized that L2 remains an important component of the Ethereum user experience. For example, stablecoin vaults in the Aave application use L2 as the accounting layer, with the goal of driving mainstream users into decentralized finance. Meanwhile, networks such as Avalanche are also driving real-world assets on-chain through institutional business expansion, which is an area where Ethereum has been relatively weak in the past.
